NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

For each file, getfattr displays the file name, and the set of extended
attribute names (and optionally values) which are associated with that
file.
The output format of getfattr-d is as follows:
1: # file: somedir/
2: user.name0="value0"
3: user.name1="value1"
4: user.name2="value2"
5: ...
Line 1 identifies the file name for which the following lines are being
reported. The remaining lines (lines 2 to 4 above) show the name and
value pairs associated with the specified file.
OPTIONS-nname, --name=name
Dump the value of the named extended attribute extended attribute.
-d, --dump
Dump the values of all extended attributes associated with
pathname.
-een, --encoding=en
Encode values after retrieving them. Valid values of en are
"text", "hex", and "base64". Values encoded as text strings are
enclosed in double quotes ("), while strings encoded as hexidecimal
and base64 are prefixed with 0x and 0s, respectively.
-h, --no-dereference
Do not dereference symlinks. Instead of the file a symlink refers
to, the symlink itself is examined.
-mpattern, --match=pattern
Only include attributes with names matching the regular expression
pattern. The default value for pattern is "^user\\.", which
includes all the attributes in the user namespace. Specify "-" for
including all attributes. Refer to attr(5) for a more detailed
discussion of namespaces.
--absolute-names
Do not strip leading slash characters (’/’). The default behaviour
is to strip leading slash characters.
--only-values
Dump out the extended attribute value(s) only.
-R, --recursive
List the attributes of all files and directories recursively.
-L, --logical
Logical walk, follow symbolic links to directories. The default
behaviour is to follow symbolic link arguments, and to skip
symbolic links encountered in subdirectories. Only effective in
combination with -R.
-P, --physical
Physical walk, do not follow symbolic links to directories. This
also skips symbolic link arguments. Only effective in combination
with -R.
--version
Print the version of getfattr and exit.
--help
Print help explaining the command line options.
-- End of command line options. All remaining parameters are
interpreted as file names, even if they start with a dash
character.
